Quick theme Question & possible theme editor bug?

[Michael]

Im just wondering if it is possible to change the colour or text on a theme to yellow?

cant seem to find a way of doing it

also a possible theme editor bug?

when i open theme editor and use the open box that comes up when theme editor opens i select the theme and get a error message

"error accoured while attempting to open the theme" it does this with all the V2 themes but when i open via the file menu i have no problems

thanks Michael

I've heard of that bug before, but I can't seem to reproduce the problem here. What's even stranger is that the method called by both the Welcome screen and menu system for opening a theme is the same. So I can't understand why one way works and the other way doesn't.

To change the text color, go into the Theme Options, select "Text Color".

There is a newer version of the Theme Editor (1.76) that will be released when Tom adds support for module layouts. Then every screen in GameEx will be able to have a custom layout. MameWah layout importing should then work properly too.

i've got the same problem. i can change options, but the changes are only shown by starting the themeeditor new. and i cant change the textcolour, too. how are the colours defined in the theme.ini?

The first thing you can try is the latest version. See if there is any change.

Hey HK, do you know if Tom will be adding custom CP's in when he makes that change (module layouts)?

Hi, just to let you know, somehow a corrupt themeditor.exe got into the gameex install, however this should be ok in the latest versions of GameEx.
